World-class training
FTA offers airline cadet and self-funded aviation training programs to domestic and international students, including a full range of services like selection, ab initio training and advanced training courses. All FTA training programs are based on integrated learning. This ensures that the student’s theory knowledge, aircraft handling skills, aviation law knowledge and cockpit management skills develop simultaneously. FTA also provides theory classes for the ATPL in Australia.
Purpose built training facilities
Our training ethos is focussed on producing future airline and helicopter captains, rather than simply training cadets to obtain a licence . To achieve this we have made, and continue to make, considerable infrastructure and asset investments to supply appropriate aircraft and simulators for training.
Our campuses have been purposefully designed and built for pilot training in Adelaide, South Australia and Wellcamp, Queensland, with theory classrooms, simulators, aircraft maintenance and administration facilities. The aircraft parking areas and student accommodation are within the campus boundary.
Expert staff and trainers
Our highly trained and committed staff ensure that the environment and content of our courses complement our facilities and exceed the expectations of our customer airlines, helicopter operators and candidates.
All of our courses are delivered in person and we strongly believe that, in our industry, there is no substitute for face-to-face teaching and learning. FTA’s integrated training programs consist of face-to-face ground theory classes and one-on-one flying lessons delivered by dedicated area specialists in flying, ground theory and multicrew cooperation training. We value the personal interactions between students and trainers as part of our high-standard training and know that student engagement in the program directly reflects in their ability to succeed.
Whether you are an airline cadet or a general aviation student, either our Adelaide flying school or Wellcamp flying school has the right course for you. We hope the information on our website gives you a good understanding of what we offer at our world-class airline pilot training school.
